There was this stranger, came into our town
Was tall and dark and had eyes
That could look right down into the bottom of you
One evening, that was different from any other
He got us all together in a big auditorium
There he stood on the huge stage
The only light was on him
We were in the dark
Into the bottom of you
There he stood on the huge stage
The only light was on him
We were in the dark
Then out of his tallness
There was this stranger, came into our town
Came the chanting, first as a whisper
We could hardly hear, it didn’t make any sense
We were caught up in something we didn’t understand
